After 5 years of being mostly on LC, my recent blood tests showed a highish LDL but the ratio was 3.5 which is below average risk. And the triglycerides were 74. So you seem to be heading in the good direction too. even my GP said that I shouldn't worry about the high LDL as the ratio was the most important indicator.

There are some opinions in cardiology circles that the low triglyceride number is much more important than the cholesterol numbers as an indicator of heart health.
